really interesting....
Page 505. Itt is ordered that Barbara the wife of Tho:Hux (for severall uncivill cariages
appeling to the Court by proffe, be forthw'th conveyed by the Sherr officer to the
whipping post, and there punished w'th 20 lashes on her bare back.
Note: This woman may indeed have been a terror up and down the river, but even so, it
is impossible at this date to imagine such brutality. The judges convict themselves.
Bland, Drew, Wyatt, Wynne, Holmvood, Hamelin, Capt. Edward Hill (of course0, Southcott
and Grey (also of course).
And by way of byproduct note the following valuable item of the period:
That Every one will Buy from you,
be what it may.
Take a twig of a wisp wherewith a person has been lashed. Make small ring and wind red
silk around it, and put it on your finger. If you wish to sell anything, it will be paid for as
you desire.
